Cyborg is by far the member most important to a Teen Titans adaptation... and is unfortunately NOT going to make the cut. As you may know, the character is currently set to appear in Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, played by Ray Fisher, and while Warner Bros. has opted to keep their film and TV universes separate, it's doubtful that they would want too much overlap between them. Having Cyborg in a supporting film role and TV role at the same time could be confusing for general audiences. However, as we've said, Batman is to at least be mentioned in this series, so there will in fact be some sort of call back to the universe at large. If the series permits it, Cyborg would be a fantastic addition to the series, especially when considering the friendship he has with Dick Grayson. The alter-ego of young football star Victor Stone, most of Cyborg's body parts have been replaced with advanced prosthetics following an accident that destroyed most of his body. The additions grant him superhuman strength, enhanced durability, supersonic flight, and numerous mechanical functions and advanced weaponry. This makes him an important member of the team from a tactical and technical standpoint, and sets him apart from his super-powered brethren. While Cyborg has been a founding member of the Titans in the past, he was rebooted in the New 52 as a founding member of the Justice League. So, even if he's available for the series, DC may have different plans for him that keep him out of the younger team that is the Titans. So, there we have it. 10 DC heroes that must appear in the upcoming Titans TV series along with Nightwing. Tell us, what did you think of this list? Were there any key heroes we forgot about?
